The complexity of NF-κB signaling in inflammation and cancer

Bastian Hoesel, Johannes A. Schmid · 1 Jan 2013

The NF-κB family of transcription factors has an essential role in inflammation and innate immunity. Furthermore, NF-κB is increasingly recognized as a crucial player in many steps of cancer initiation and progression. During these latter processes NF-κB cooperates with multiple other signaling molecules and pathways. Prominent nodes of crosstalk are mediated by other transcription factors…

Crosstalk between cancer-associated fibroblasts and immune cells in the tumor microenvironment: new findings and future perspectives

Xiaoqi Mao, Jin Xu, Wei Wang et al. · 11 Oct 2021

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), a stromal cell population with cell-of-origin, phenotypic and functional heterogeneity, are the most essential components of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Through multiple pathways, activated CAFs can promote tumor growth, angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis, along with extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling and even chemoresistance. Numerous previous studies have confirmed the critical role of the…

Role of hypoxia in cancer therapy by regulating the tumor microenvironment

Xinming Jing, Fengming Yang, Chuchu Shao et al. · 11 Nov 2019

AIM: Clinical resistance is a complex phenomenon in major human cancers involving multifactorial mechanisms, and hypoxia is one of the key components that affect the cellular expression program and lead to therapy resistance. The present study aimed to summarize the role of hypoxia in cancer therapy by regulating the tumor microenvironment (TME) and to highlight…

PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling transduction pathway and targeted therapies in cancer

Antonino Glaviano, Aaron Song Chuan Foo, Hiu Yan Lam et al. · 18 Aug 2023

The PI3K/AKT/mTOR (PAM) signaling pathway is a highly conserved signal transduction network in eukaryotic cells that promotes cell survival, cell growth, and cell cycle progression. Growth factor signalling to transcription factors in the PAM axis is highly regulated by multiple cross-interactions with several other signaling pathways, and dysregulation of signal transduction can predispose to cancer…

Analysis of gene expression and chemoresistance of CD133+ cancer stem cells in glioblastoma

Gentao Liu, Xiangpeng Yuan, Zhaohui Zeng et al. · 1 Dec 2006

BACKGROUND: Recently, a small population of cancer stem cells in adult and pediatric brain tumors has been identified. Some evidence has suggested that CD133 is a marker for a subset of leukemia and glioblastoma cancer stem cells. Especially, CD133 positive cells isolated from human glioblastoma may initiate tumors and represent novel targets for therapeutics. The…

Molecular Cancer template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Molecular Cancer format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Molecular Cancer template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official BMC (BioMed Central) format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Molecular Cancer use?
Molecular Cancer uses Numbered (Vancouver) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith A, Jones B, Lee C. A representative article title. Molecular Cancer. 2023;12(3):45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Molecular Cancer?
No. DocuGuru generates the bmcart LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a BMC (BioMed Central)-ready Molecular Cancer document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Molecular Cancer template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Molecular Cancer format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Molecular Cancer?
BMC / BioMed Central journal. It is a life sciences and medicine journal, published by BMC (BioMed Central).
Can I export a submission-ready Molecular Cancer PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Molecular Cancer template (the bmcart class) that is ready to submit to BMC (BioMed Central), together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Molecular Cancer template cost?
You can start writing in the Molecular Cancer template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Molecular Cancer PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
